What do reviewers say about Stetson Original and Black Suede 2024?
This is what confidence smells like when it doesn't have to try. Sweet and powdery with an amber backbone, it's been earning respect since 1981. Not for those who play it safe.Stetson Original
Black Suede 2024 is the update you did not know you needed if you ever wore the original. The aldehydic opening is classy without being dated, the leather heart is approachable, and the suede drydown.Black Suede 2024
